Thanks for the tutorial! I just had to replace some of the missing materials with cardboard and news paper, but don't worry i hardened them beforehand with some glue

[@GreyGooseNWO]

Goodluck in your project , you should be able to generate enough electricity to charge a calculator

thanks, was just about to build a dam!!

Everyone is making jokes but I’ve actually be wondering how they could make a big dam on a large river so I came here looking for the answer so thank you!

[@Truth_Seeker1]

That’s why I came here but I also made a joke. 😂

[@sovngarden]

Oh damn I forgot the 'first filling' phase on my dam. Went straight to full usage, good thing this video helped me built my first dam

[@ADFaried]

Oh DAMn that could be dangerous

[@andersonm-music]

So fascinating! Thank goodness we have engineers.

[@Itcoy]

I can't be the only one who searched for how dams were made

[@aashirsiddiqui5203]

Same here...I actually came here from watching a short to get full information about the construction of dams. This is the short kzbin.infoh-SI3Ou4VJM?si=hyfz-bK99Y1wucDL

[@dflare2347]

lol, i literally searched that frfr

How on earth am I getting notification from this host comment where I didn't reply at all? And it's not the first time. 🤔 Should be some KZbin glitch.

Mullaperiyar dam in kerala, India was built with a lifespan of 50 years, 126 years have passed now and the life of around 10 lakh people in Kerala is in danger. We need international attention towards the dam safety#savemullaperiyardam

Why would anybody ever build a dam that would only last 50 years?!

[@kailendobucki6845]

I've always wondered this but for some reason never thought to look it up. I had the mentality that it was going to be a mystery forever

It's a great career! I am a retired construction civil engineer. There are many types of civil engineering Structural engineering. ... Construction engineering and management. ... Geo-technical engineering. ... Environmental engineering. ... Transportation engineering. ... Water resources engineering. ... Materials engineering. I chose construction because of the diverse methods of construction techniques. I excelled at concrete and also had an structural engineering background. I traveled all over my country working on small, big and a few mega jobs. I really enjoyed doing bridges. Good luck with your pursuit. It's hard work at first but with patience it becomes second nature.

[@zaynkhan3431]

Good job

[@rezonrodrigues1839]

Very Informative, I was just confused, how they stop the flow of water while constructing the dams?

[@johnnyvivic8730]

They don't, they are built on flowing rivers and the concrete is inserted underneath, like at 1:47. Sections are usually heavy enough to resist the flow of water adequately during insertion. If water flow is vigorous enough, then a diversion will be built, perpindicular to the water flow, to divert water form the river elsewhere while the main dam is built. P.S. when you see a dam and it has water up to the top on one side and water almost at the bottom on the other side, know that the side with the water at the top is the reservoir, which is filled up after the dam is complete.

[@elena6516]

I dont know what kind of long-winded pseudo-answer Mr Vivic is providing above. The answer to your question is that they divert the water around the construction site. Simple as that. Build a channel or channels that allow water to flow around wherever they working. When the dam is complete, they plug the channels. In some cases, they might build a structure called a cofferdam or caisson in the river itself and perform construction within the de-watered cofferdam area.

[@elena6516]

@@johnnyvivic8730 1:47 is some unrelated stock footage. The dam in that scene has already been built. No, they do not simply lower pre-cast concrete blocks in place within the river. They cannot become monolithic structures that way.

That was really cool. This is the best way we know how to make clean energy right now. Unfortunately, in my country Pakistan, we are facing severe flooding once again and we still haven't built enough dams. We are also facing a 20% electricity shortage..

[@addarzful]

Yes exactly, couldn't agree more. I am also one of the Pakistanis who came to see this video after hearing and realising how several people and their homes & businesses got severely affected by recent disastrous flood incident. I pray to Allah and hope that in near future we are able to build such dams to avoid such flood disasters and also able to generate massive hydro electricity and get rid of thief organization like k-electric.

[@simonbowman6206]

To date there are no dams running multiple banks for turbines why? Well the story you are told is there are issues like turbine surging and dissolved gasses in the flow. This was the case But in Australia RDP Marine has made a turbine system that can be retro fitted
